Log splitter

[bluebobtail]

Hi all i know a few people on here have made log splitters.
I've looked at plenty now but am still undecided on which way to go. We have a old bonser forklift powered by a david brown engine.
On it it has a auxiliary attachment for powering tipping buckets etc. Does anyone know of this type of forklift and do you think the pump would be ok to run a splitter. As then i would only need to source steel for the splitter and a operating lever on the splitter itself. As have sourced a double acting ram from a old recovery truck we have cut up.

Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

if the pump on the forklift is able to power the hydraulic rams on the mast to lift stuff up and down and all, it should be ok to run a log splitter i think
